RCP Companies Director of Acquisitions and Asset Management Odie Fakhouri said Dress Up, a women's boutique with 12 locations in Georgia and South Carolina, will launch its first Alabama store at 10 a.m. Friday at the development, which is anchored by Whole Foods Market.

The Shops at Merchants Walk is already home to Orangetheory Fitness, Mountain High Outfitters, Lululemon Athletica and Farm Burger. Fakhouri said they are building "tremendous momentum" with the diverse mix of tenants there.

"Not only are 80 percent of our tenants first to market, but we are on track to be fully leased near November, which coincidentally will be the one year anniversary of the Whole Foods opening," he said.
